5/23/2015 Posted On: 5/24/2015 By: bacon_on_top Info: Trailhead is still clear. Almost made it to the lake. Patchy snow from 9,800. Deep snow at 10,800 | ||||
4/25/2015 Posted On: 5/18/2015 By: WillRobnett Info: Gate was open to summer TH. Dry trail up to 10,700. | ||||
3/8/2015 Posted On: 3/9/2015 By: cbaker7565 Info: Gated 1.7 miles from summer TH | ||||
9/3/2014 Posted On: 9/3/2014 By: bdloftin77 Info: Same as last.. I‘d call it a class 1 or class 1.5 road right now. Only a few little dips, but easily avoidable if you‘re worried at all. The Colorado College group did a stellar job. | ||||
9/1/2014 Posted On: 9/13/2014 By: bking14ers Info: Any car can make it to the TH. Lots of parking and a rest room. | ||||
8/30/2014 Posted On: 9/1/2014 By: Jim Davies Info: A group from Colorado College was fixing potholes and drainage issues around the road today. No problems getting to the parking lot with any vehicle right now. | ||||
8/22/2014 Posted On: 8/24/2014 By: Laughing_Jackal Info: Road leading up to trailhead was 'washboarded', but no major issues or stoppages. 100-200 yards before getting to the parking lot, there are some very deep potholes that made driving a bit interesting. We were driving a Forester XT that's lowered with stiff suspension, and still made it without an issue though. We saw a Honda Accord in the parking lot, so it's definitely pass-able with about any vehicle. The bathroom was a welcome surprise, but no running water, and bring your own toilet paper. You'll need to pack out your trash of course. Mosquitos didn‘t seem to be a problem, and no bear issues. | ||||
8/9/2014 Posted On: 8/10/2014 By: MissH Info: Either mosquitoes were attacking others or they‘ve calmed down now... only a couple bites and used repellant once at end of trip (breaking down camp). Friday, 3pm, parking lot was already pretty full. Just b/c road is relatively easy as 14-er TH roads go, don‘t drop your guard. While avoiding some ruts in the center of the road we didn‘t notice a big rock on the side (I swear it jumped out at my tire). Oops. | ||||
7/14/2014 Posted On: 7/14/2014 By: addrock528 Info: Washboards and some potholes, but any passenger car could make it. Beware of the mosquitoes at the TH!! | ||||
5/26/2014 Posted On: 5/29/2014 By: freeinthehills Info: Road open. Would not boot up until around 11K right before first waterfall and trail kicks to the east. Snow after that, but kinda dries up once you cross back to the N side of the river | ||||
5/25/2014 Posted On: 5/25/2014 By: nyker Info: Road is freshly graded and in great shape. A 2wd car can make it to the top. In much better shape than a year ago. | ||||
4/8/2014 Posted On: 4/10/2014 By: SherpaSara Info: Drivable all the way to the TH; 4wd not necessary. | ||||

7/21/2013 Posted On: 7/23/2013 By: MartyWells Info: Road was an easy 2wd road. Any car could make it up it. Not sure why the approach says good clearance is a good idea. Any clearance will work. | 1 |
